Support group for GCSE traumatised mothers; how much moodiness are you sucking up right now?

Still 4 to go here, one today, last one next Tuesday. Phew!!

ds did geog & french yesterday too. He said they were 'fine', so that was informative . My flight home was cancelled, so dd & I didn't get home from the wedding (which was excellent) until late last night, so I'm really glad we didn't take him with us or he'd have missed those two. Not long before it's all finished now .

Ds had geog this morning,he had such a full on week last week that I think he probably didn't do enough this weekend as he was so relieved to get the week over and only really realised this morning,so hope it wasn't a disaster.French this afternoon ....

Has anyone done Geography today? DD said most ran out of time to finish it, including herself. Oh well only 4 more to go. She seems to be taking it all in her stride now.

Yeah we had this dilemma the other day - he told me he 'went to the library and revised'- I wonder if there is a chippy near his school.

Maths this morning and German this afternoon. Like ddgm's DC my DD has a 2.5 hr break but has to go off the school premises.

Out of normal school hours it's a 2 bus x 1 hr journey home so not worth it. I guess she'll be following in her mother's footsteps and hang around the chippy

Hi
Maths in the morning then DT this afternoon, shouldnt be too bad but is just going on about the 2 and a half hour break in between them as they are not allowed off the school premises and are not allowed to make any noise at school - i suggested he revise for dt for a couple of hours-we live in hope !!!

Ahh that's a shame - have a lovely time at the wedding though.
After Maths today we just have History (American West) and Music next week.
Next Friday it will all be over!

yep, maths this morning. Shouldn't be a problem, it's his best subject. We're more than half way through now & begining to feel that the end is in sight, but he's a bit down as I'm taking Dd to France today for a wedding tomorrow - he couldn't come because of GCSEs.

Maths today anyone??

OMG poor thing - I'm sure they'll take it into account somehow - maybe resit??

friend of ds had an accident before French on Tue & sat exam covered in blood & feeling faint. He went to hospital instead of the next exam immediately following it & had internal bleeding . I think he's OK now, but has missed one exam & been unwell/shocked during another. Will the exam board make allowances do you think? What can they actually do?

History went well - hope everyone doing ok.
English tomorrow afternoon - poetry I think.
Read through the 8 poems tonight - very relaxing (for a change) .

I haven't started revising on that part of the subject yet Henni that joy is reserved for next week.
Public health all the way this evening.

Sharbie, we've been doing about history of the American West too although DD doesn't have an exam tomorrow.

he he night off I wish - we are doing the history about medicine and the American west.
Ask me any date about medicine and I will be able to answer it .
I did WW1 for my history at school though back in the days of GCEs.

AQA English papers so far have been very accessible - no problems with the questions. Hope your dcs have appreciated them!

HI
My younger one year 10 has got history tomorrow so i have to pre warn you he has told me in no uncertain terms that History is "The most unreviseable (is that even a word) subject invented its all common sense about how it felt to be in the trenches in ww1" so you may as well have the night off! I know my lovely 14 year old wouldnt be trying to get out of revising would he ?

Joy indeed.Love the nothing you need to revise line - heard it so many times.
History tomorrow - he has done 1 hour sesh after English exam today and we will go through for an hour tonite and then into school early for 30 mins crammer before exam.
You know I am so feeling that we might be getting somewhere.Finally.

Good luck to everyone.

Same here maths yesterday which is his worst subject has been going to a tutor weekly since Christmas but he came in and said he "Spooned it" (I think that's a good thing) but didn't like to check.
English today and apparently there is "nothing you need to revise for that" I do think there was but didn't push it.
More English and maths this week then dt and geography next week. Oh Joy!!!!!!!!!

English lang here too today.Maths was ok yesterday - think DS said he didn't answer one or two questions.
He is starting to get really tired but unable to get to sleep very early.
Went to tutor for extra English last night and then did half an hour history revish with dad.
I had planned a bit more for last night but didn't have the heart to make him do any more.
Roll on Friday next week.

ds has chemistry & maths today and english, french and latin tomorrow. He's done some work in half term - about a couple of hours more days than not but still seems very laid back and unstressed. He worked harder for his mocks so I hope he's doing enough. I'm not sure if he's not getting it or if he's just got complacent or if he really doesn't need to do too much work. DD has end of year school exams this week and has done virtually nothing - I suppose they don't matter in the same way though.

I do think it's our job to be a bit stressed on their behalf, especially if they're not.

DD's excuse for not revising is that she's "only" in year 10, so she thinks that she can coast this year and work harder next. They really don't get it do they?!

Is your DS feeling any better today Bourboncreme?

They just don't get it do they?
